The Best Crockpot Kielbasa and Green Beans Recipe 

A busy day is inevitable, and that’s exactly when an easy dinner recipe saves the day. Just toss everything into your crockpot and let it do all the work! One of my favorite go-to meals is Kielbasa with Green Beans and tomatoes, but admittedly, I prefer this recipe without the tomatoes. This is a simple yet flavorful dish where seasoned potatoes, crisp green beans, and smoky kielbasa come together perfectly. Sausage and potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, and trust me, the whole family will be asking for seconds!

I also love switching things up with other green bean recipes, like my Kielbasa Potato and Green Bean Casserole and buttery Green Beans, Kielbasa and Corn Skillet.

This recipe requires minimal prep time but about four hours of hands-off cooking. The best part? You don’t have to hover over the stove. By the time dinner is ready, you’ll have checked off your to-do list— running errands, watering your garden or helping the kids with homework. Then, all that’s left to do is serve and enjoy!

I hope you like this recipe! There’s just something about the simplicity of kielbasa, green beans, and potatoes that makes this meal an easy classic!

This is the best crockpot recipe because it includes the best flavor, tender vegetables, hearty potatoes, and sausage. My favorite part of this dish is that it’s super easy to make. It also doesn’t hurt that it has the best flavor. It’s a comforting meal, as most potato recipes are, perfect for a cold evening when you want something warm and filling your stomach.

This crockpot recipe is simpler and heavily relies on the seasoning to set when cooking in the crockpot. This method brings the dish to life because the seasoning has time to soak and seep into the meat and potatoes. If you’d like you can prepare a side dish of egg noodles or rice for a complete meal. The whole family is sure to enjoy trying a new, hearty meal like this one!

Crockpot Kielbasa and Green Beans FAQs 

What does kielbasa mean?

Kielbasa means ‘sausage’ in Polish. This sausage typically contains garlic giving it a rich flavor. However, kielbasa to Americans often refers to a type of smoked sausage. Kielbasa is an Eastern European sausage, but has variations from Ukraine, Russia, and other nearby countries.

What is traditionally served with kielbasa?

For this recipe, green beans and potatoes are the vegetable of choice. To make a complete dinner, a great way to pair it is with rice, egg noodles, coleslaw, or potato salad.

How long should you cook kielbasa?

For this easy recipe, the kielbasa is cooked in the crockpot for 4 hours on HIGH or 6 hours on LOW.

Can I use other potatoes for this recipe?

The short answer is yes. While I found large potatoes to be ideal (especially if you love potatoes and want a lot), you can use baby potatoes if that’s what you have on hand. Otherwise, yellow potatoes, red potatoes, or russet potatoes also work.
